bbPress.org

Everyone knows that the forums at WordPress are powered by bbPress.

And for any technology, the ultimate insult that your software has died is when someone comes in behind you to create a new system to replace your failing system.

Well, that just happened with bbPress !!!

Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)

I hope MATT and others take notice and get serious about bbPress. It’s embarrassing that Joel has to call out all of the missing features and functionality and support of bbPress in his article (even though he doesn’t call out bbPress directly).

MATT, please take this as a major cause of action to improve bbPress.

This may seem like a strange request so I’ll try to describe the whole situation. I have a couple of web applications I have tied together by creating an OpenID Provider server for the main app, and configured bbpress as a Consumer using a modified version of the OpenID Plus plugin. Everything works great except logout. Since each app controls its own session information separately, logging out of one does not log out of the other. I can hook into bbpress’ logout to call the appropriate function in my main app, but the opposite direction is proving difficult.

In my logout function external to bbpress I have the following:

but receive this error when its executed:

Fatal error: Call to a member function suppress_errors() on a non-object in ***/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 63

Line 62 and 63 from the file in question

I don’t understand how it could get as far as this line without setting $bbdb in bb-settings.php. Any ideas?

Hello,

I installed bbpress in this folder: /mysite/forum/ I logged into admin panel to try and fix the front page link that’s supposed to take users back to the main site (but doesn’t).

I noticed that non of the admin links work; No matter which I click on I get a screen line this one: http://imagebin.org/112099.

Would someone tell me how to fix this, as well as how to properly link bbpress to my main site, I’m just going in circles here.

Thanks.

I’ve just placed the bbpress folder in my root wordpress directory of my site. I would like to integrate the two. Does it matter where I place the bbpress folder?

As soon as I navigate to the bbpress folder, I’m seeing the following error messages at the top…

Hi all…I have used wordpress(3.0.1) for quite some time and I’m using bbpress(1.0.2) for the first time. I’m having hard time integrating the two.

I can login to bbpress and wordpress using the same ID and password, however, when I login to wp I get logged out from bbpress and when I login to bbpress, I get logged out from wp. Seems like cookie problem?

Any help is much appreciated!

Installed WP3.0.1 and latest version of bbpress as of this week, everything seemed to install fine, logins work across both but I have no Admin link on the forum.

What can I check to see what’s missing?

Thanks.

Hi

Desperately needed.

A way to move/ merge duplicate topics and their posts.

On our forum there are a number of topics that are prone to users duplicating – starting a completely new topic with the same title and – frequently the same question/comment.

This breaks the unwritten rules of the forum and is highly irritating to those users who comply. It often results in the need to moderate the ensuing barrage of comments and can lead to the, often new, user never posting again.

We did foresee the issue but it has now stated to become a regular event.

Is there any way – even manually – that the admin can move/merge the wayward topic into the pre-existing topic.

1 – A plugin – that works

or 2 – ability to fake login as the wayward user and re post in the pre-existing topic, deleting the rogue

or 3 – a process to edit the tables (which ones) so that the post is listed correctly.

Tx

I’m in a process of moving a bbPress installation from one server to another, and everything seems to work well, even with a switch from ligtthpd to apache2.

I just found one problem – all the paginations are broken. The “box” is made, and is clickable even to the right destination, but the numbers which should be in the boxes are missing. It seems to be everywhere, even in the administration.

Anybody have a clue?

Hi, i need help with code. When I try to reactivate my password, I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’ in /home/iportalc/public_html/iOglasnik/bb-templates/iBlogProForum/password-reset.php on line 12

this is the original code:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<h2 role=”main”><?php _e(‘Password Reset’, FTDOMAIN); ?></h2>

<?php if ( $error ) : ?>

<p class=”notice error”><?php echo $error; ?></p>

<?php else : ?>

<?php switch ( $action ) : ?>

<?php case ( ‘send_key’ ) : ?>

<p class=”notice”><?php _e(‘An email has been sent to the address we have on file for you. If you don’t get anything within a few minutes, or your email has changed, you may want to get in touch with the webmaster or forum administrator here.’, FTDOMAIN); ?></p>

<?php break; ?>

<?php case ( ‘reset_password’, FTDOMAIN ) : ?>

<p class=”notice”><?php _e(‘Your password has been reset and a new one has been mailed to you.’, FTDOMAIN); ?></p>

<?php break; ?>

<?php endswitch; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

How can i change the size of the avatars next to a post?

grz,

Mathias
